WHO ARE WE DOING THIS FOR?


WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE?

These schemes will have the ultimate objective of enabling the participating SMEs to scale up their activities and build capacities within their enterprises and finally access certification schemes and other initiatives that promote sustainable tourism and lead to competitive advantage, as an added value.
